A landmark report that looked into problems faced by women in the Malayalam film industry was released last week .

Since its release, a number of women - some of whom have now given up acting - have publicly spoken about facing sexual assault and harassment in the industry.

More than a dozen police complaints have been filed against some male stars.

The shake-up has been so huge that the top governing body of the state’s biggest film group was dissolved after its president, Mohanlal , resigned on “moral grounds’.

Many have argued that the report and the subsequent shake-up are positive, much-needed changes.

Others have lamented the report is being used to brand all men in the industry as abusers.

The Malayalam industry is celebrated for making progressive films, many have said.

It was the industries "you don’t hear anything about" that people should be "worried about”.
